Im sure that we will have some extended dry period soon enough. Interestingly enough it may come from NW flow vs a big heat dome

A summer without the SER dominating? Impossible. It's weird that it hasn't really been that hot here this year. I think the highest I've seen is 90 and that was a few days so far this year? I'm not even 100% sure we did hit 90 more than once.

I have not hit 90F here, and I doubt you have at 1200', and we likely won't in all of June. KATL has touched 90F twice this month, that is all.

I've picked up 2.4" in the last couple days. No drought here.

87.7 is the max temp average so far for June and if we stick near the forecast highs, we'll probably end up with an average high below 90 for June. Have to think we're going to pay though, July could be awful to make up for this.
 
I think our poster in Boiling Springs SC is getting his rain today. A train of storms up that way now. BTW, I got. .80 yesterday afternoon and another .10 overnight.

Yes! I may break 2 inches for the month today if manage 0.4. Not much compared to other areas and below average but just enough to keep the grass green.
 
Looking at weather.com's forecast avg high's the next 14 days:

Minneapolis: 89.7
Detroit 88.1
Atlanta 84.8

What on earth is going on ? Minneapolis is forecast to hit 90 at least 8 times over the next 14 days. They usually dont get that many 90 days all summer !

Upper high centered close to Detroit bringing them heat and dry. Below the high is Atlanta with moist and not hot flow off Atlantic. Also, SE soils quite moist preventing much heat and keeping dewpoints high/keeping RH moist.

GSP is talking about an MCS train setting up next. If that happens all of us may get big storms.

Don’t wanna jinx it butttt, probably the best shot so far this year given the trough in the NE and not all the way in Canada 2FC33227-2A76-4FEE-B023-4CFA9D3A4F99.png19E2CBCE-A182-40D3-9B8B-B47A82C09FC0.pngA85C7896-A6B4-4D30-9C33-FD37D5588BFB.png07FC4595-E8AC-4D72-A3C3-49E200C7D513.jpeg
 
This little storm going over Spartanburg is really packing a punch. Really strong winds and torrential rainfall.

I really thought there was no chance KATL could average a high of 84F or less in July to keep the 30 year average at 89.4, but with the way things are progressing who knows.

For real. Even with the lack of rainfall in some areas, we are above average for the year.

Few pics of sunset tonight (taken from Lookout Mtn / few miles from downtown Chattanooga). Plenty of photo opps throughout the Southeast the next few days with the Saharan dust.

Eastern NC has had more rain in general, over the last month. Most of the western Carolina's (including CLT) did well, precip wise until, maybe mid-June? While you are were scoring with the ULL, we maybe had less than half an inch. And since then, convection has been spotty at best for a lot of us. Part of that is just how summer storms work. Raleigh tends to do better due to it partially being directly on the Fall Line. The western Carolina's, like Charlotte, depend on convection flaring at noon in the higher terrain and hopefully making it's way to us. before sundown. Yes, Lee Through can make our storms more severe at times. But that varies from year to year.
